Description of Presentation
Novel podcasting is an alternative to what used to be book reports. In this presentation, I will show you the benefits of podcasting and the outcomes of novel podcasting as well as the procedure used to complete the assignment. I will offer resources and curriculum uses to podcasting in the English classroom.
Presentation Notes
Podcasting is an efficient way to do oral reports.
Meets needs of ELL and IEP students and offers a differentiated method of assessment.
Addresses 21st century skill development and PSSA reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
Procedure:
Students have 11 novels to select from. Students research authors of novels to determine which novel they will select.
Students meet in reading groups as they read the novel.
Students complete novel questionnaire.
Students use the questionnaire to write their script. Students are given script (sample posted above) to write or type.
Students find images.
Students upload images to Moodle for classroom use for podcast.
Students create podcast and hand in work through Moodle.
Issues with podcasting projects
Transferring files - students should work on the same laptop for the entire project.
Timelines are extremely important! (Sample is posted above)
Have high expectations for student work completion and for final product
Suggestions from participants
PC users could use Audacity & Photostory.
MAC users could use iMovie or Keynote (recording would have to be in one session in Keynote.)
